North Texas's oldest and longest-running parade is back in 2025! Enjoy watching dozens of colorful floats, decorated vehicles, marching bands, inflatables, dance groups, and more, showcasing the spirit and joy of the community along historic Jefferson Boulevard. A special appearance will be made by the iconic "Selena movie car:" a candy-apple red 1969 Chevrolet Impala lowrider featured in the 1997 film about the Tejano singer, Selena Quintanilla-Pérez.

New this year are the popular and trending parade characters – created in the Mojiganga style – that are sure to instill excitement! The giant puppets will be designed to resemble iconic Mexican personalities. Spectators will have a chance to vote for their favorite Mojiganga puppet, with the winning entry receiving a monetary prize. Parade goers will enjoy deejay music by Tejano to the Bone Radio Network and vendor booths at the 500 block of W. Jefferson Blvd. For sponsorship details and parade information, visit the website at oakcliffart.org.
